    Polaris Outlanding Project 2022: Iceland

    26th August, 2022

    Get ready for the journey of a lifetime: 100% outdoor experience across the beautiful, volcanic landscape of Iceland for seven days, with nothing but a tent and a Polaris off-road vehicle to complete the adventure.

    Set to take place next month, six female members of the Polaris team will be setting off to Iceland with three specially-equipped Polaris side-by-sides, ready to travel across thousands of kilometres across the intense and breathtaking landscape of the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’.

    The six women will collectively represent a number of European languages and regions – France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden – all with a shared urge to break from the ‘norm’ of everyday life, experience something new and unknown and engage other women riders to experience similar adventures. The team will be completely self-sufficient without aids or support vehicles, travelling with just three Polaris side-by-sides and their camping equipment to sustain them over seven adventure-filled days. 

    The journey will start in Reykjavík with a visit to STORMUR EHF – the official Polaris distributor in Iceland – to collect their Polaris vehicles. From there the team’s Icelandic adventure begins. Travelling over smooth tarmac roads to the less-travelled gravel F-roads, the team will navigate through ford crossings, steep, slippery inclines, and the famed black sands, all of which will lead them to uncover some of the most beautiful landscapes and natural wonders in the northern hemisphere – including a close encounter with the erupting Fagradalsfjall volcano. Imagine remote and unspoilt scenery including diverse lava fields and spectacular mountains, geothermal hot springs overlooked by looming glaciers, and breathtaking waterfalls that few places on earth can match; the Polaris riders will experience them all.
